Hello i686ers!
This is a smaller update set mainly to fix up KDE packages.
However, kernels get an update too, as well as some bugfixes for systemd.
Note that kernel 3.18 is now actually EOL and won’t be receiving any further updates. Please switch to another kernel if you’re still running on 3.18.
The transition to
pentium4
architecture is going to need more thought/effort than I had originally hoped so that’s on the “back burner” for now.
Available kernels
Series Version PAE linux316 3.16.67 No linux318 3.18.140 EOL No linux44 4.4.180 No linux49 4.9.177 No linux414 4.14.120 No linux419 4.19.44 Yes
Full list of changes
The full list is available here. ~900 updated packages.
Anyone who would like to help out testing the upstream packages, please read the archlinux32 thread for details about how they automate their testing process and how to get involved:
https://bbs.archlinux32.org/viewtopic.php?id=171
(running this in an archlinux32 VM would be fine, there will hopefully be a way of doing this directly from within manjaro32 in the future)
archlinux32
If you find manjaro32 useful please consider donating to, or helping out with, archlinux32. It’s a small team taking on a huge project and any help will no doubt be very much appreciated.
Why aren’t the available packages/package versions the same as x86_64?
archlinux32 packages are based on Arch packages but may need editing to build correctly. Builds of less-popular packages are lower priority.
Manjaro-specific packages may lag behind x86_64 because there aren’t as many packagers. If you notice an important package is lagging please report it; at the moment it’s only me packaging for i686:
I’m only packaging current LTS kernels. Any marked as EOL are dropped. I’ll not be building the mainline kernel.
What about security updates?
I cannot guarantee timely security updates on x32-stable. If this is critical for you I recommend you switch to x32-testing or cherry-pick those packages from x32-testing or x32-unstable as they become available.
Something broke. Isn’t this meant to be stable?
“Stable” means “infrequently changing”, not “everything will work perfectly all the time”. If you want it to mean everything works, you need to help test the things you’re interested in.
What about installer images?
What about
x32-testing
andx32-unstable
?These are already available, and I recommend you use
x32-testing
if you can to make sure testing is done.x32-unstable should be used by the adventurous who want to try and find any issues before they impact other people. If you have multiple/many machines you really should run one of those on x32-unstable. However: expect breakage.
Any problems?
- No issues, everything went smoothly
- Yes there was an issue. I was able to resolve it myself. (Please post your solution)
- Yes I am currently experiencing an issue due to the update. (Please post about it)
